Thought I'd start this since no one else has yet
1-0 Big Red
1-0 :-)
Cam Abbott from Downs
Matt Moulson 2-0
and at the 3:36 mark, it's 2-0 Cornell
Assists to Ryan V and Travis B
since my calculator's in front of me, this works out to 33.3 goals per game.
1:59 Cor Cam Abbott 6 (Downs 1)
3:36 Cor Moulson 5 (Bell 3, Vesce 14)
3-0
3-0
Nice to hear the band :-))
Union announcers "looking at the positive."
Agreed - very nice to hear the band
The Union announcers, "It's not like they're playing the New York Rangers here..."
Play resuming now after a Union timeout
My favorite so far was "They can't get the puck out of their zone, and when they do, it's like a moral victory and they just ice it."
Or, "The Union team looks like it doesn't want to be here."
end of the 1st period. 3-0 Cornell. Union will start the first with 1:04 of power play time
sorry - they will start the SECOND with the remaining PP time
I think we've overloaded Union's server -- I logged off for a minute, and now it won't let me back on. :-/
Union's "intermission report" apparently involves playing Dave Matthews Band. Wonder if it's live :-P
uh oh - same here. Hopefully I can get back on
I just got back on -- just in time for some crappy music ::snore::
Shots 15-6 in the first period. I wonder when the last time was that Cornell had >= 40 shots in a game? 1991? ;-)
You know what would make this game better? A goalie fight.
4-0 shg, i believe our first of the season!
Cor Vesce 9 (Bâby 17)
Missed being a shorty by 2 seconds. Bell with the other assist.

Only if we sub Chabot in to do the fighting.
Union on the PP. And apparently they just had a really nice chance, but missed.
Cornell kills off their second man-down situation.
Murray draws a penalty. Cornell going on first pp.
Cornell about to start their first power play of the night
5-0, that was fast
Anyone know if you can get livestats for this game? Should be entertaining...
12:09 Cor pp Vesce 10 (Murray 13, Paolini 7)
Cornell scored again. It's now 6-0.
Goal Sam Paolini
Did Vesce just get a hat trick? What's the scoring on that 6th goal? I missed it.
It's contagious:
Even Nieuwendyk scored!
I put this in the other thread, but I thought I'd inform all of those too engrossed in the CU-union "game"
11 different players tonight picking up points
WAY TO GO JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3rd period about to begin. Goalie change for Union - Mayotte now in.
It's -21 degrees in Watertown, NY right now!
(not the windchill, the regular temp)

If anyone reading this is on Instant Messanger, could you give me score updates so I don't have to keep reloading this page? My screenname is Lynah98.
Is anyone else still getting dinged by the Union server? Grrrrr.
Cornell about to go on the power play. Tripping, I think.
Union kills it off. 11 mins. to go.
Damn it. Hornby's 3rd penalty of the game. Union on the PP now.
Michigan Tech just tied Colorado College on a last minute EAPPG.
Under 2 mins Coach trying to get Ryan V a hat trick and Bell his first goal as Bell has been out on two shifts as forward.
Vesce just misses under a minute now Union has two great chances and misses again
Cornell 6 Union 0, Final
It's over shut out for Lenny coming back from Worlds !! way you go Big Red!
And with 2:08 left, Maine ties Merrimack.
And Maine ties it again with 43 seconds left.:-(
With the CC tie, we pass them in the KRACH and are (for the moment) #3. Also, with the CC and Maine results, we are all alone at #2 in the PWR (at the moment).
Hmmm. At 10:24 CST, USCHO has us in 3rd, still losing comparisons to Maine, CC, and UND. UND wins the comparison on RPI by .0002 - pretty much comes down to who blinks first! The top two non-TUC teams are, you guessed it, Clarkson at .4999 and Brown at .4956. If those two were TUCs, we'd take the comparison with CC. Let's Go Tech! Go Bruno!
Unfortunately, Cornell's KRACH Str of Sched has dropped to 10th, as posted on USCHO. And, NoDak is 11th. I guess pretty soon we won't be able to pick on the Sue about playing Canisius.
"the Sue"
That's a joke right? Either that or it's way too late for ya ::snore::
I'm sure it was a joke. The other NoDak joke being "the Fighting Snot," after an unfortunate Seahawks-like color scheme in the '80's.
Yeah, Western results improved CC's SOS enough to move them back ahead of us in KRACH, but by a ridiculously slim margin: 1157/1155. That gives them a HHWP against us of .5004. (Their RRWP, which is the analog of RPI, but varies over a much wider range, is .0002 better than ours.)
couple things:
thought cornell played very well last night. onion played well in the third but the game was long over...
where was marr? didnt see him on the bench and he wasnt in goal ;)
cant wait for 2nite
::twitch::
Marr and Hynes were home with, wait for it... food poisoning. Chabot had the backup jersey. No report whether Pizza Hut was involved.
lol
i think that clarkson and st lawrence sent the team pizza to continue their warm welcome for the red to the north country :)
BTW, Bell already has 3 career goals (including 2 in a game at SLU). So, it's likely that he was playing forward at the end of the Union game to rest some of the other guys.
Also, Chris Abbott didn't dress for the RPI game (and T. Bell took his spot in warm-ups), so I'm guessing that our backup forward for the trip (Hynes?) couldn't go, but our backup defenseman (Gleed) could. However, I didn't see Bell play as a forward (except maybe on the kill) during the RPI game.
Yes, I admit, I came up with it on the spot, and it was late.
I'm surprised I don't see more NoDak haters calling them the Sue, but maybe it's not as funny as I thought it was.
Minny fans have called NoDak "a team named Sue" (c.f., Shel Silverstein poem) for ages. :-D
Adam announced Bell as playing forward even strength on several shifts down the stretch. Mike Milbury used to play his defensemen at forward to punish them for thinking too offensive mindedly.
OTOH, Brian tried to play Ryan Hughes at defense.
::help::
The last D-man I remember being called upon to fill in at forward on a regular basis was Chad Wilson. We did have a period in the late 90s where we were pretty thin on the blueline and a couple of forwards got moved back, although their identities escape me at the moment.
Didn't Alex Gregory play up front a bit before leaving the team to focus on school?
Al, I think you're right about Gregory.
Also, did Knopp play defense on occasion? Or did I just think he could handle it if called upon?
For some reason, I think Larry Pierce might have taken a turn or two on offense, but I could be mistaken. And maybe Jason Dailey?
As for Ryan Hughes, did he actually try to play defense or was it just playing the point on the powerplay? In my mind, that's special teams, not defense.
Larry definately did O.
Hey, I just had a happy thought. Remember when we used to never beat Union? :-D
Brian played Jason Vogel on defense for about half a season (92-93, ouch), not Ryan. Which actually wasn't all that bad a move, considering how few defensemen we had who were worthy of the name back then.
Josh, please explain what the CENSORED is happy about that thought? I remember those days well and would rather not ::yark::
Dailey definitely played forward a couple games. He seemed to like even when he was supposed to be playing D. He loved those end to end runs. Problem was when he turned it over and no one was covering back....

It's happy because we seem to have gotten that monkey off our back. (Not to make any assumptions about future games, of course, just observing that we've done well against them in the recent past.)
